Hi everyone,


I'm a postgrad student at LSBU (living in ED) researching the role of non-parental supportive adults in the lives of young men who have experienced mental distress.

After having worked as a youth worker for years I got accustomed to hearing about how "one good adult" could be beneficial in the lives of young people but without ever knowing exactly what that meant to the young people or how to go about being that "one good adult". Previous research has shown that for young people a relationship with a trusted adult (coach, uncle, neighbour, cousin, etc) is beneficial to the young person in so many areas of their lives. I want to talk to people who have had a non-parental supportive adult in their lives and who want to share this experience in terms of their mental health. I'm particularly looking for men (aged 18+) as their help-seeking patterns and relationship with services differ to that of women.

If anyone would be willing to share their experiences or have any ideas about how to find people who would please let me know. PM me or email [email protected]


Thanks!

      I pass here almost every day and have never seen the local business struggle to load. There's plenty of space as things are.    Seems to me this is just the meddling council being ****heads yet again. These are their reasons: "BAWDALE ROAD Goose Green add a total of 35m new 'DYLs' on both sides south-east of its junction with Lordship Lane (22m on the side of No. 157 Lordship Lane, 3m o/s No. 2 Bawdale Road, and 10m opposite No.2 Bawdale Road) to protect access for large vehicles coming to collect from and deliver goods to the nearby businesses"   Consultation here: https://consultation.appyway.com/southwark/order/1c3a8926-8f51-47e1-8460-2727fec6d895

      The next Dulwich Hill SNT meeting is on Weds.11th June 2025 5pm at Christ Church Batty Road. Open to all Dulwich Hill Ward residents and businesses. It is realised that 5 pm is not suitable for everyone, but even when held at 7 pm. some people complained that it was children's bath/bed times and wanted it earlier/later. When later times were proposed, there were still complaints- not able to get babysitters/did not want to go out/return home in the dark!. Times are always not going to be convenient for some people. These meetings are held quarterly and are very informal. They give everyone a chance to meet the local team and exchange views/concerns relating to crime/anti social behaviour etc.

      If it is, it’s highly poisonous according to the Wildlife Trusts. https://www.wildlifetrusts.org/wildlife-explorer/wildflowers/black-bryony
